the FBI Hostage Rescue Team, yeah they aint special forces but they got the same capabilities as Delta, i just like to include them but i wouldnt say they are the best. they train with Delta in the House of Horrors and able to learn between each other in new tactics and increase cooperation.

i would not say who are the best but SAS has a legendary history since WW2 in its operation. also Delta is based on the SAS and and both sides of the Atlantic likes to increase cooperation and also send their people to see whats new in tactics and weapons and discuss between each other on current world events.

Delta is not consider secretive in a way, since some former Delta members help make the movie Black Hawk Down. what is secret is their operations, yeah they were involved in the failed hostage rescue (only because of bad weather which made the pilot of C130 not see the helo that was in the way in the air, usually if Delta fails in a mission it most likely result on CNN since the enemy tries to show the failure) in Iran, also their use of tactics as well as the number of personnel and who they may be. of course it aint really hard to know what tactics they use since most special forces community in the world is pretty similar, but at least you don't know their names or where they live exactly.

they specializes in anit terrorism and counter terrorism and hostage rescue operations. their training facilities is considered the best in the world and many special forces from around the world come to train with them since some don't have the resources back in their home country to have their own training facilities.

there is also the Navy's DEVGRU former SEAL team Six by Marchinko who commanded the team before his scandal. it is similar to Delta. the reason for the name change from Six to DEVGRU is because the Navy wants to keep it secret and also Marchinko mentions team Six in his books.

o yeah i forgot, Delta can also do other jobs besides counter-terrorism, they do assasinations if ordered just informing yall people

even thought its still secret in some ways, they still have to go to public for recruitment.

they can't guaranteed those who want to be a Delta operator since you can't volunteer for Delta, they select you for it, and the training is pretty intense.

Delta is NOT public; their training, how they train, the missions they do, etc...are all completely classified. The Special Forces are more open in that (and they themselves are considered the elite of the elite as well).

It is BELIEVED Delta is used in counter-terrorism and that type of stuff. But the only people who know how Delta trains and what they do is Delta.

Delta may not be public but their former members are. even the creator of Delta wrote a book about it. another member talks about his experience about it.
